St Kilda has confirmed its 26-man squad to take on Collingwood at the MCG this Sunday afternoon.

Saints leader Jack Billings has been named in the starting line-up after being withdrawn from Round 15 due to a knee complaint, while last week’s debutant Leo Connolly forms part of the extended bench.

The Gippsland recruit will be joined by Brad Crouch, Jack Higgins, Ben Long, Josh Battle, Paul Hunter, Dean Kent and Jack Lonie on the eight-man interchange.

Nick Coffield will spend the next four to six weeks on the sidelines following a hamstring strain, with the young defender the only confirmed omission for Round 16.

St Kilda’s final line-up against Collingwood will be announced tomorrow at 5:00pm AEDT.

IN: Billings, Hunter, Kent, Lonie
OUT: Coffield (injured)

Last week's medical sub: Connolly (replaced Coffield)
